Queens County is located in the heart of the South Shore of Nova Scotia and covers 2761 km sq or 1066 square miles. As the southern gateway to the UNESCO Southwest Nova Biosphere, we care about our pristine environment and are proud that nearly 20% of our county is protected.

King James I (James VI of Scotland) claimed Nova Scotia in 1621 as part of the Kingdom of Scotland. "Nova Scotia" is in fact Latin for New Scotland. Our provincial capital is Halifax and our motto is Munit Haec et Altera Vincit (One defends and the other conquers). Dubbed as "Canada's Ocean Playground" in 1972, visitors far and wide come for our vast coastline and breathtaking interior, our Maritime hospitality and, of course, the amazing seafood.

Canada welcomes you! We are the second largest country in the world in land mass and we share the longest undefended border with the United States. Relatively young for a country, Canada reached a peaceful independence from Great Britain in 1867 when a federal dominion was formed through Confederation. A cultural mosaic, Canada is known the world over for its values, its dedication to peace and the abundance of unspoiled wilderness. With just over 33 million people occupying almost 10 million square kilometers, Canada is a country that allows you room to breathe.
